The thing that makes me a bit sad is that is that some people do try and be helpful and respond to Ask HNs that are languishing unresponded... and yet only have one point of karma on their comment. Which means that even the person who asked the question didn't upvote the commenter who was taking the time to respond to them. I've seen this even in cases where the OP followed up on the comment and said "thanks that's very useful". So click the up-arrow, dude. (unless upvotes by the OP are filtered out? but I can't imagine why that would be)
